Brainstorm
Beck - Mongolian Chop Squad Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You open up the door with negative aura
You say the future is murky indeed..
I'm sick of hearing your gripe

Open up the door with negative aura
If you never change
I think There is no way my life fizzle out
You open up the door with negative aura
(i'm fed up fed up fed up)
You say the future is murky indeed..
I'm sick of hearing your gripe

Open up the door with negative aura
There is no way my life fizzle out

If you are at a loss as to what to do.
Raise you stiff middle finger.
It will know which way the wind blows.

Don't chain your affection
Awaken primal feeling
Don't benumb emotion
Sing out primal scream
Let loose every feeling from joy to grief

Don't chain your affection
Awaken primal feeling
Don't benumb emotion
Sing out primal scream
Let loose every feeling joy to grief

Go against headwind or ride on the talewind.
Game is in your hands.
How do you play?
Follow your brainstorm!!!

How long will you go on lying?
Get wise tie yourself down
How long will you go on lying?
Breakdown a stick tight empty smile mask!!

Don't chain your affection
Awaken primal feeling
Don't benumb emotion
Sing out primal scream
Let loose every feeling from joy to grief

Don't chain your affection
Awaken primal feeling
Don't benumb emotion
Sing out primal scream
Let loose every feeling from joy to grief

Don't chain your affection
Awaken primal feeling
Don't benumb emotion
Sing out primal scream
Let loose every feeling from joy to grief

Don't chain your affection
Awaken primal feeling
Don't benumb emotion
Sing out primal scream
Let loose every feeling from joy to grief

Go against headwind or ride on the talewind.
Game is in your hands.

Overall Meaning

The song Brainstorm by Beck - Mongolian Chop Squad is an optimistic and uplifting track that encourages the listener to let go of negative emotions and embrace their primal feelings. The first verse describes someone who is constantly negative and pessimistic, bringing down the energy of those around them. However, the singer is fed up with this and refuses to let their life "fizzle out" because of this negativity. The chorus encourages the listener to release their emotions, from joy to grief, to not numb themselves or be chained by their affection for others.


The second verse urges the listener to follow their own brainstorm and play the game of life according to their own rules. The song suggests that if someone is lying consistently, they need to wise up and break down their facade. The chorus repeats, emphasizing the importance of releasing all emotions, not just the positive ones.


Overall, Brainstorm is a powerful call to embrace and express all our emotions, to not be held back by negativity, and to chart our own course in life.

One of the biggest shame about never getting a second season is that we won't hear more Chiba focused songs.

@rochahouse4883

Show doesn't need a second season, 26 episodes was more than enough and it ended great.

@zrust451

@@rochahouse4883 Sorry, but their American tour arc deserves an adaptation 100%. Also, more Beck songs! I want to listen to Tabasco!

@rochahouse4883

​@@zrust451 Never bothered with the manga, if the show ended fine then it should stay that way. No need to risk ruining it with a second season. Reminds me of all the comments saying that people want another season of Banshee when that ended perfectly fine on its own too lol.
